House on Mosfilmovskaya Apartments Moscow, Russia

“Ms. Lobanov, my name is Dylan Kane. I’m from Shaw’s of London. I’m here concerning your employer, Mr. Minkin. May I come up?”

He didn’t blame the poor woman for hesitating. After all, Svetlana Lobanov’s employer and boyfriend was in prison, awaiting trial for charges brought against him by a government drunk with power, a government that had shown no hesitation to kill those they felt opposed them. But he needed to speak with her, and his cover as an insurance investigator for Shaw’s was his best hope.

“I, umm, don’t know. I’m very tired. Perhaps later?”

“Ms. Lobanov, I’m here to help your employer. I need to speak to you. It is very urgent, otherwise we won’t be able to assist him in these trying times, and I’m afraid he could go to prison for the rest of his life, or worse.”

He heard a gasped cry, and wondered if she actually cared for Minkin, or just his wallet.

Perhaps a little of both.

“Very well. You can come up.”

“Thank you, Ms. Lobanov.” He handed the phone over to the woman manning the lobby desk, a few words exchanged before he was waved through.

“Fifteenth floor. Unit 1503.”

Kane beamed a smile at the woman, her cheeks flushing slightly. He was looking good, a Tom Ford pinstripe suit tailored to his exact measurements was in the trunk of the car Zorkin had provided, along with all the accouterments needed to look drop-dead gorgeous. There was no better confidence builder than looking good, and no better panty remover than confidence.

And in the old days, he might have looked up the young lady when the job was done, but instead, the show he was putting on was all business, Fang the only woman he needed now.

I can’t wait to get home.

It was an exciting feeling. For years, he rarely came home, for home wasn’t really home. He spent so much time on assignment, and had been so damaged, that his downtime was spent at luxury resorts with bevies of women at his beck and call where he drowned out his sorrows and loneliness with alcohol and sex.

And when he did get a chance to go home to see his parents, he was met with a father who barely spoke to him because he was pissed Kane had given up his career in the military to be a “glorified insurance salesman,” and a family he had to lie to about everything he did.

But it was different now. When the Assembly had kidnapped his parents to get to him, they had finally become aware of what he was doing for a living, and the relationship between him and them, especially his father, was stronger than ever. And with Fang in his life, he had a home to come back to.

My old stomping grounds probably think I’m dead.

He stepped onto the elevator and pressed the button for the fifteenth floor, arriving moments later. He checked himself in the mirrored wall then stepped off, heading for 1503.
